Mars Webcam Images added...

Aug 4, 2003

I had the opportunity to experiment with my converted webcam on an increasingly growing Mars last Saturday night. I took my color Logitech Quickcam and placed it in a 2” camera adapter. It mounts very easily in a standard 2” focuser. I placed an extension on it so that I could also slide it over a barlow. I am very pleased with the results even though I’ve still got a lot to learn about the Registax program. Luckily these will be only a precursor to better shots toward the end of the month.

Sorry I’ve been away from the site lately. I started a new job that is occupying too much of my time. Keep checking in from time to time for web updates and Mars shots.
